The FCC requires that a certified installer perform the installation. It is also strongly recommended that a qualified professional RV dealer/installer mount the system on your vehicle. These conditions are also required by C-COM for all other installed locations. All iNetVu™ Mobile earth station installers must be C-COM Certified, and must have specifically acknowledged the requirements for iNetVu™ Mobile installations, which are as follows: 1. “Installation” is the physical mounting and wiring of the Satellite provider’s earth station on a vehicle or other stationary site in order to prepare for correct operation. Only Certified C-COM iNetVu installers may perform the installation and removal of an iNetVu™ Mobile system. 2. “Deployment” means the raising, pointing and orienting of the earth station to the communicating satellite, every time it is raised from a stowed position for use. The deployment of an iNetVu™ Mobile system must only be done by a trained installer or by a consumer using the deployment software. 3. Installers shall install the iNetVu™ systems only in locations that are not readily accessible to children and in a manner that prevents human exposure to potential radiation hazards. 4. For large vehicles with roof mounts, the height of the bottom lip of the earth station when fully deployed must be at least six feet above the ground at all times, or six feet above a surrounding surface which a person may easily access. 5. If a roof access ladder or any other means of access to the roof is installed on the vehicle, then the ladder or access must be blocked by a suitable rope or other barrier while the earth station is deployed or in operation. The installer must provide this rope or barrier directly to the end user at the time of installation and advise the user to use it at all times when the earth station is deployed or in operation. Warning signs shall also be provided by the installer to the end user to be posted on the rope or other barrier warning all persons not to attempt to access the roof of the vehicle while the earth station is deployed or in operation. 6. Warning signs shall be posted at prominent locations on the earth station informing all persons of the danger of harmful radiation from the earth station while it is deployed or while in operation. 7. The iNetVu™ Mobile system may only be operated when the vehicle is stationary. 8. The installer must inform the end user that the vehicle must be stabilized during the transmission, to prevent movement of the vehicle for any reason, including movement of persons on or off the vehicle, or high winds. The installer shall advise the end user how to appropriately stabilize their vehicle. 9. Installers shall be liable for all damages if they fail to comply with the above mandatory conditions. This includes, but is not limited to damages caused by improper installation or due to the failure to provide required information to the end user. iNetVu™ 9000 Controller User Manual Rev 1.0.8 C-Com Satellite Systems Inc Page 5 of 77 10.

Antenna will center itself and attempt to locate the cut-off edges of the Azimuth Stow Switch. After detecting at which angles the ST Switch turns OFF, the Azimuth zero position is calculated and the AZ Pot Zero is set at the zeroed A/D value. You will then be prompted to enter the Platform ID Number prior to finishing the Calibration Process. Calibrate EL Calibrates Elevation by adjusting and optimizing the Elevation Current Limits. Calibrate CP Tests the compass’ heading and accuracy by rotating the antenna at 90° intervals and comparing the compass readings with the actual antenna’s movement. If IMS finds that the Compass is inaccurate, it will automatically calibrate the compass. Compass Check i. ii. iii. iv. Antenna will center itself; move to the proper Elevation for reading the compass, then read the compass heading. Antenna will rotate 90° to each of the following positions and read the compass at each: 0°, 90°, 180°, -90°, 0° iNetVu™ Mobile Software will compare the compass heading values read at each position, and determine if they differ by approximately 90°.
